Police brutality is a social issue that interests me and it’s a very important social issue. It’s the unwarranted use of force by law enforcement where officers exercise excessive force against a person, to be more specific this happens more to people of color. it’s a very disturbing and extreme method that is not right. It includes beatings, racial abuse, unlawful killings, and torture by the police. The US police kill civilians at a much higher rate than any other country in the world. About 1000 people are killed each year by the police in the United States. The black lives matter movement brings attention to police brutality and what we tend to see in these protests is that people get shot/abused more than ever in these protests, even when we are trying to make a difference peacefully we still end up getting killed or shot at by the police. This is an issue that has been going on for a very long time. this topic interests me because it’s so significant and it affects people from all over the world. What’s really upsetting is that police brutality keeps increasing. There should be no reason why the people who were supposed to feel protected by are the ones that are making us feel unsafe. it has to come to a stop, it’s not right in any way.
